Scanlation Sunday: The Lobster

This little two-pager felt appropriate for the season.

“Le homard” (“The Lobster”) by Franquin is originally from 1957, when mayonnaise in a tube was still a novelty.

The final punchline works better in French, where “serrer la pince” (roughly, “pinch claws”) is a common way to say “shake hands.” (Similarly, Conque-la-Méduses suggests conches and jellyfish.) I think it still works OK, just because it’s fun how Fantasio is so touchy and easily offended.
